I just got my first group in this morning. These guys are so amazing, really cool turtle to see in person. All 5 are just over 4" and already feeding on mazuri. I'll take some better pics once they settle in.

Wow. Are they always that pretty? I've only seen this species in pictures, but dang, they're gorgeous! Looks very red. Hope you reproduce some!

The juvi's are pretty sweet. I hope I see some hatchlings in day. It's cool how the pelusios gabonensis and Cycloderma aubryi both evolved the same coloration and come from the same area. Weird!
